sputnik Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 A friend just sent this to me today. I don't know if it's been posted here before but it's pretty clever. Cool Honda Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 VERY nice, VERY stylish. Just like my 2005 Accord EX. I'm on my 4th Honda. Each one lasts about 200,000 miles or one decade. They are perfect. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Clever but not real. The tires didn't have enough momentum/speed to roll up hill like that. I did see this on the net a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. During the pre-shoot set-ups, film assistants had to tiptoe round the set so as not to disturb the feather-sensitive superstructure of the arranged metalwork. The slightest tremor of an ill-judged hand could have undone hours of work." I'll have to watch it again. I like the point at the end where the rear hatch drops and changes the center of mass just enough for the ramp to tip and allow the car to roll forward.

sputnik Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Dang, Parrot beat me by a couple years. I searched the forum archive for "honda ad" before posting. Nothing showed up - my goof. It deserved a rerun anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwoods Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hey, I tried this years ago, with the parts left over from a valve job on a '66 Rambler, but the outcome wasn't as impressive. However, I seem to remember it having a better resolution than 25 ppi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
